Whittenburg and Sidney Lowe were the two starting guards for NC State; they played high school basketball together at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland.
Whittenburg was a high school All-America for Morgan Wootten. He was an N.C. State regular from 1980–83 under Jim Valvano where he was named second team all-Atlantic Coast Conference as a junior and helped the Wolfpack to 1983 national championship. He was a third-round draft choice for the Phoenix Suns (51st overall) in the 1983 NBA Draft. Prior to coaching at Wagner he served as an assistant at N.C. State, George Mason University, West Virginia University, University of Colorado, Long Beach State University and Georgia Tech.[3]
